    Sexuality occupies a prominent place in vehicular French in Cameroon. In their daily exchanges, speakers use many expressions and erotic expressions. To arrive at a vocabulary representative of sexuality, our essentially descriptive approach embraces several types of variation, including social, dialectal, pragmatic and enunciative variations as well as rhetorical uses. Faced with a sexually connoted French as illustrated by the corpus exploited, there is reason to resist the temptation to yield to a self-censorship that would eliminate many lexes attested in the basilectal variety practiced in Cameroon. The realization of such a sample is necessary insofar as it reflects a social environment similar to a linguistic-cultural Harlequin mantle. It is, of course, linguistic vitality expressing a social behavior taken into account by a domesticated language.
